Salad with chicken, feta cheese, watermelon & creamy basil dressing

Friday, already? I just got home from visiting my sister Ehva in Östersund. (She has a blog by the way - in Swedish, but if you read Swedish, head over there!) It's been a lovely trip, and I took some great pictures of my great-nephews (surely that's what it's called? It's my niece's children.) and of Ehva's smart design details in her apartment. She is very creative, and has some really cool stuff.

Now, speaking of cool. Sweden is not. It's been a very warm summer, and as far as I've heard, that's true for most of the world. So, how about a cool summer salad? This is a really tasty flavor combination - feta and watermelon goes so well together! Feel free to skip the chicken if you want a lighter meal, but it does make it more substantial.

Rinse the salad well, dry, and arrange on a platter. Cut the avocado into large dice, and distribute evenly. Press over the juice of half a lemon, and toss. Cut the onion into thin half moons, and sprinkle over. Cut chicken and watermelon into bite-sized pieces and arrange on the platter. Top with crumbled feta cheese.
